His research focuses on cognitive neuroscience, particularly individual differences in memory and attention processes and their role in higher-order cognition.

• Cognitive Neuroscience
• Working Memory
• Attention Control
• Individual Differences in Cognition
• Memory Retrieval
• Temporal Distinctiveness

His laboratory investigates mechanisms of maintaining information against distraction and retrieving non-maintained information, emphasizing temporal distinctiveness in short-term memory. His work contributes to understanding how these processes underpin cognitive abilities like intelligence and reasoning. Unsworth leads the Maid Lab at Oregon, which explores memory retrieval dynamics and their implications for cognitive performance. Further details are available on his lab's website: Maid Lab Oregon.
